I’m not this obsessive, am I? No. Well, maybe.

One of our favorite blog writers writes on blogging for one of our favorite magazines Maisonneuve (which has a great new issue out by the way).

    People are probably going to hate what I have to say about this, but I’m going to say it anyway. I love Maud’s blog and her article on blogging and its addictive qualities is right on the money, but I don’t understand why someone like Maud, who treats blogging like it’s her job and does it well enough that it should be, doesn’t try to *make it her job.* Or at least a part time job to stave off the guilt of spending so much time on it. There are a lot of great bloggers out there, and a lot of them are worried about selling out and concerned about promoting a certain behemoth internet book store, but the fact is that since thousands of people visit Maud’s blog every day, there are ways, unobtrusive ways, for her to make a little money off of that blog. And since when is it so bad to get paid for writing? We live in a world where associations with big, somewhat unsavory companies are a regular part of daily life, so would anybody really hold it against Maud, or any other blogger who delivers such outstanding daily nourishment, if he or she had an opportunistic relationship with the big A or laid a few unassuming text ads on us? I should hope not. Thoughts?
